About Netlify

Netlify is a cloud platform that connects a Git repository to a global CDN, automating the entire path from code to live site. Every push triggers a build and produces an atomic deploy that goes live worldwide in seconds, with zero server setup or configuration required. Beyond static hosting, Netlify includes serverless and edge functions, built-in form handling, native authentication/identity, split testing, and deploy previews for every pull request — letting teams review changes before merging. It's the backend of choice for JAMstack architecture, powering everything from personal portfolios and marketing sites to full SaaS dashboards and e-commerce storefronts, and is commonly compared against Vercel for modern frontend deployment.
